The Yellow Mountains were a range of mountains to the South-east of Middle-earth, a southern continuation of the Red Mountains. Both ranges were created when the Valar thrust the center of Middle-earth to the east as extra protection for Valinor.[1]
We don't really know anything on the fate of the mountain range but it may have felt the effects of the War of Wrath and were ruined. It is also possible that they became part of the Dark Land when Middle-earth was broken into Middle-earth proper and the Dark Land, as they were certainly in the right position before the sundering[2].
