Yes, arrays are sequential, including 2d arrays as you mentioned.

//Sequentialint array[3][3];//Not necessarily sequentialint ** ppInt = new int * [3];ppInt[0] = new int[5];     ppInt[1] = new int[2];ppInt[2] = new int[15]; 

There are 3 different int arrays being allocated in the second part, and they could be anywhere. Note that they are not even the same length. It is not even square conceptually, like a 2d array is.

Edit: forgot a semicolon

Yes. ** Means a poiner to a pointer. So when you use

int ** array;

as a multi-demensional array like:

int ** array = new array*[2];array[0] = new int[3];     array[1] = new int[10]; 

At first you are creating an array of pointers to int pointers. Then you are setting the pointers to the address of an array you are allocating. That''s why it''s not necessarily be sequential.
