Actually unfortunately it wasn't. I wanted to say this made sense, but then I looked up some lore on Wowwiki:
"The climate is very similar to Burning Steppes, as it was the same catastrophe that blackened both: the summoning of Ragnaros. Searing Gorge is a part of Khaz Modan, and was a mountains region, part of the Redridge Mountains, but was shattered by the summoning. "
The last sentence is the most important. This whole region was part of a mountain range until Ragnaros decimated it.
I imagine it was something similar to what happed to the island of Krakatoa in 1883.
