Going out of existence seems to be a gradual event which one could view and experience over time. Being destroyed seems to be a sudden, perhaps unexpected, event. So, if a mountain mysteriously dissappeared I would think that it happened very suddenly, possibly without warning. It could have been blown up, but the key word is mysteriously. If a mountain was blown up I think that the mountain was destroyed. When I think of a mountain in terms of going out of existence, I think of erosion.
