How are igneous / sedimentary rocks changed into metamorphic rocks?

Which 80 metre high piece of limestone rock have we studied in Yorkshire Pennines?
Malham Cove
Palham Cove
Why is Malham Cove so high?
it's made of less resistant rock
it's made of soft rock
it's made of Carboniferous limestone, which is relatively resistant to erosion

How is Malham Cove made of tropical rocks but is located in Yorkshire?
Britain used to be located within the tropics and was fully underwater for hundreds of millions of years. During this time, shells of marine creatures were deposited and have formed the Carboniferous limestone found at Malham Cove
