I don't think that geological correctness is ultimately needed for the mountains of Middle Earth to be realistic/simulation, though.Part of realism in a fantasy game is fantasy realism.  Things that the fantasy establishes as real that are not real in our world. A dragon flying over Los Angeles is very unrealistic.  A dragon flying over Baldur's Gate is very realistic for D&D.Tolkien established that the world was created by songs sung by angels to achieve Eru's vision. With that in mind, the mountains of Middle Earth become realistic/simulation of that supernatural song to achieve Eru's will.  Heck, they may have been Morgoth's doing with his discordant notes, which ultimately also were a part of Eru's vision.</blockquote>
