They are similar. The largest distinction I can think of is that consecutive things can be finite. Consecutive events happen in unbroken or logical sequence but are not necessarily continuous. Continuous events are ongoing. A random number generator would be continuous, but since there is no logical pattern to the numbers, it would not be considered to be generating consecutive numbers.

A quadratic sequence is when the difference between two terms changes each step. To find the formula for a quadratic sequence, one must first find the difference between the consecutive terms. Then a second difference must be found by finding the difference between the first consecutive differences.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 The common difference between consecutive terms is 1.
No, the Fibonacci sequence is not an arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is not constant
