By observing everything; gravity - topography - seismology (especially seismology) - density - the effect of other heavenly bodies, such as the Moon - samples brought up by volcanoes - drilling in deep ocean areas where the crust is thin - the magnetic field - the behavior of earthquakes - other planets - etc.
By doing this, and analyzing everything, scientists have been able to piece together theories, confirm them, and test them against new theories. Its all part of the scientific process.

What thermal do scientist first propose to mantle causes continental drift?
they what?
Who is the Yugoslavian scientist discovered separation between crust and mantle?
The boundary between the crust and mantle is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity (or Moho); it is named in honor of the man who discovered it, the Croatian scientist Andrija Mohorovicic
How do scientist know the measuremnt of the earth mantle and core?
Because of the difference/wavering in the earths magnetic field due to thwe fact the inner core is largely Iron....
Why do scientist look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
What scientist first proposed that thermal connection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Arthur Holmes
What was named after a Yugoslavian scientist and is found between the crust and the mantle?
I suppose "the Mohorovičić discontinuity" is what you are looking for. But, Mr. Mohorovičić was not a Yugoslavian, he was a Croatian. So the question should be "What was named after a Croatian scientist and is found between the crust and the mantle?", if the Mohorovičić discontinuity indeed is what you are looking for.
What scientist who first proposed that thermal convection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Arthur Holmes who is a geologist.
The crust and the upper mantle are know as the?
The crust and uppermost brittle mantle are referred to as the lithosphere.
How do scientist learn about the mantle and core on earth?
they cut cross-sections of layers using a specially made drill
What is Earth's largest layer called?
The thickest chemical layer of the Earth is called the mantle.
