The term tendency is much more broadly applicable, to a wider variety of situations, than the term habit. A tendency is a likelihood that something will happen; it has a tendency to snow during winter, people have a tendency to gain weight, governments have a tendency to borrow money, and so forth. None of those things are exactly habits, although one could also say that a particular government has a habit of borrowing money. Habits are typical or repeated actions of a particular person or group of people.

A tendency is a likelihood to act or think in a certain way, while a habit is a behavior that is repeated regularly and often unconsciously. Tendencies may influence the development of habits, as repeated actions can become habits over time.
