What Chemical and physical transformations occur in the blue sphere silica gel at high temperatures?

In summary, when blue sphere silica gel is exposed to high temperatures for a prolonged period of time, it undergoes a chemical and physical transformation, turning into a compound that can absorb and store moisture. However, if the gel is damaged, it can leak the stored liquid. This transformation is relevant to the maximum temperature and duration of exposure, such as in a microwave oven.

What type of chemical and physical transformation occurs in the blue sphere silica gel when it is subjected to very high temperatures above the temperature supported by it for several minutes?

does it turn into a compound that will absorb and store moisture and water inside and can leak if it breaks? ex. maximum temperature of a microwave oven in 10 and 15 minutes

my doubt is another what happens to it at high temperatures it turns into something that absorbs and releases liquid

(Mentor Note -- The OP was found to be a sockpuppet of a problematic user who was banned in the recent past, so this version of that user is now gone as well, and the thread will be closed now.)
