Anything that causes the engine to run hot, like a faulty thermostat, can cause the head gasket to blow. also say a coolant hose ruptures, all the coolant is then drained from the radiator and the engine is then essentially running with no way to cool down, gasket blows. there are many ways for the engine to run hot, but it is the main reason a head gasket would blow out.

What causes a head gasket to blow or warp?
Running your car at a high RPM can cause the temperature to rise rapidly, and if not cooled properly the engine will overheat. Heat creates lots of pressure due to particles increasing in energy. Eventually, if ran on low oil or other coolant, the heat will cause too much pressure to build up and the head gasket will blow.
