The landscape described in the bible, does not accurately describe the area it was supposed to be in?

Some believe it was on the south end of the Dead Sea. Weather patterns may have changed over the years to make places desserts that were not in the past. Volcanos can create mountains.

One candidate for Sodom is a site known as Bab edh-Dhra. Bab edh-Dhra was an Early Bronze Age city located near the Dead Sea, and bitumen and petroleum deposits have been found in the area, which contain sulfur and natural gas (as such deposits normally do). The theory is that an earthquake opened a nearby pocket of natural gas. Natural gas, being lighter than air, drifted up. However, instead of dissipating harmlessly the gas reacted with the fires burning in the city (the smallest flame could have set off the natural gas). As a result, the city was devastated.

Hard to say because one possible location, the southern end of the Dead Sea area, is now underwater.
