The property of silica sand that makes it useful in hydraulic fracturing is:
**It can withstand great pressure.**
Silica sand is used as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing because it maintains its structural integrity under the high pressures encountered during the fracturing process, helping to keep fractures open and allowing oil or gas to flow more freely.
