Both can mean roughly ‘without interruptiona long and continual war; five years of continuous warfarebut continuous is much more prominent in this sense and, unlike continual, can be used to refer to space as well as time, as in the development forms a continuous line along the coastContinual, on the other hand, typically means ‘happening frequently, with intervals between’, as in the bus service has been disrupted by continual breakdownsOverall, continuous occurs much more frequently than continual (around six times more often in the citations for the British National Corpus) and is found in many technical and specialist uses ranging from grammar and education to mathematics
