Contiguous is a word that is used normally when objects are spatially adjacent and Continuous is a word that is normally used when events are adjacent in time.

This usage is probably the reason why arrays are "contiguously" allocated and not "continuously" allocated. On the other hand, a function f(t) is "continuous" and not "contiguous".
