Is there difference between "continued" and continuous when they are used as adjectives. I know they can both describe a movement without interruption. But is there any difference?

There is a slight nuance difference actually. "continued" is on going but could still have breaks within the total time. ---> "he asked for their continued support" (they aren't supporting him 24/7 obviously) "continuous" is on going and usually has no breaks. ---> "There are continuous benefits to this service" I would also like to say that "continue" is more commonly used as a verb though.
