In a sequence, the ratio of the third term to the second term is the one successive from the ratio of the second to the first.
The successive ratios are : u2/u1, u3/u2, u4/u3 and so on.
In a geometric sequence, these would all be the same.
The ratio between successive numbers must be a constant.

A descending geometric sequence is a sequence in which the ratio between successive terms is a positive constant which is less than 1.
There is no conclusion to the Fibonacci sequence - it continues on infinitely. The conclusion is that successive terms tend to a constant ratio with one another. So if a is one term, the next is ar and the one after that is ar2. Then from the rule that any term is the sum of the previous two, ar2=ar +a, which means r2-r-1=0 so r =(1+sqrt5)/2 (the golden ratio). There is no end to this series.
Obvious occurrences are in the number of "observable" spirals in the seeds of a sunflower, or on the outside of a pineapple, and in the number of leaves and petals on plants, for example clovers usually come with 3 leaves, daisies usually come with 55 petals. (3 & 55 are both Fibonacci numbers.) As the Fibonacci numbers increase, the ratio between them gets closer and closer to the "Golden Ratio" φ which is approx 1.618034 (exactly it is (1 + √5)/2). Each petal or leaf of a plant grows from primordia and if the reflex angle between successive primordia is measured it is approx 222.5°; the ratio of this to a full turn is 360/222.5 ≈ 1.618 - the Golden Ratio. In using this spacing it provides the densest packing (for example with the seeds in a sunflower) making it stronger than radial spokes; it also means that each successive primordium gets placed in the largest space available.
Hypotenuses can cave any real vale and, since real numbers are infinitely dense, the ratio of "successive" lengths is as close to 1 as you can get.
It is a sequence of numbers such that the ratio of successive terms is a constant.
The ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches the Golden ratio as the number of terms increases.
The ratio between successive numbers must be a constant.
There is no hidden secret. The ratio of successive terms tends to [1+sqrt(5)]/2 which is known as the Golden Ratio.

the act or process of decreasing; gradual reduction or Physics. the ratio of amplitudes of a damped harmonic motion in the course of two successive oscillations.
Yes, that's what a geometric sequence is about.
Successive Substitution was created in 1989.
Successive farming is helpful to the enviroment.With each successive boyfriend, her choices improve because she learns from her mistakes.
Successive numbers follow one another, like 3 follows 2.
