Anyways when I imagine the Valar shaping the earth I imagine it as a very physical process. Hence why most of the heavy work is done by Aule and Tulkas and Ulmo. Yavanna labors quitely and to me it seems uses more of a "sorcerous" approach to shaping the world. However when it comes down to how I imagine the Valar going forth to war, the Wrath of the Valar is a phrase that to me signifies that they're doing a lot of physical fighting and therefor the geography would be altered quite a bit. Much in the same way that ancient peoples must have looked at earthquakes or thunder or other harsh natural calamities as the gods physical presence on earth. I can easily imagine that in the Elvish folklore that comprises the Silmarillion the first earthquake they experienced they'd attribute it to the Valar at war or something similar.
