Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe was an American author    

Explanation:

A clause is a group of related words that must have a subject and a verb; it can be either dependent or independent. A dependent clause can not stand alone because, on its own, it does not express a complete thought. An independent clause, on the other hand, does express a complete thought, so it can stand on its own.

The provided sentence has both types of clauses: An independent one "Edgar Allan Poe was an American author" and a dependent clause "who wrote Gothic and macabre short stories." The first one is independent because "Edgar Allan Poe was an American author" has complete meaning on its own: it does not need another clause in order to make sense.

Sholpan [36]
I would say that plate tectonics shows what the origin of volcanic activity, earthquakes and mountains comes from their collision or subduction. Where two plates collide mountains can be formed (uplift), where subduction occurs then volcanic activity like in the circum-pacific belt occurs and where stresses build up in subduction or transform fault (like the San Andreas Fault)  and are suddenly released, earthquakes are the result. Subduction is where the oceanic plate gets pushed under the continental plate.
