Ask yourself this: According to historians there was a large land mass called Gondwanaland, or maybe Pangea. The Bible states that after the flood the world was changed. Geologists say that the mountain ranges of the world were formed by the earths seperate plates pushing against each other.

So, the question is "Were there any mountains before the flood?"

Yes, there were mountains before the flood, the text affirms this ...

The waters covered the highest mountains ...

The real question ... How high were they back then ???

Genesis 7:

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

So there were some kind of high hills before the flood, and a distinction was made between hills in 7-19 and mountains in 7-20.
