Here's why:
* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.
* "Continuously" describes how something happens, indicating that it happens without interruption or pause.
For example:
* "The rain continuously poured down." (modifies the verb "poured")
* "He was continuously working on the project." (modifies the verb "working")
* "The music played continuously for hours." (modifies the verb "played")
