It depends on the size of the tile. Use a smaller 5/32" V-Notch Trowel for 3/4" or smaller glass mosaics, a 1/4" x 1/4" trowel for 2" x 2" mosaic tiles. For bigger 12" x 12" or heavier tiles use a trowel with bigger notches like 1/2" x 1/2" so the bond mortar (thinset) will be thicker.
The 2011 Tile Industry Standards define the minimum bond layer thickness to be 3/32" after beat in, but the maximum thickness has more to do with the manufacturer of the thinset mortar you are using. Many "thinsets" max out at 1/4" in a single layer. "Medium Bed" types of thinset may go up to 1/2" or more, but you must follow the manufacturer's instructions. Thinset mortars made thicker than they were designed for can shrink and crack the tiles.

You do not want to use a mixing thinset for backsplash. you would want to use something a little stronger for walls, being a carpenter for 7 years i would use mastic tile adhesive. There are alot of advantages in using this product and the main reason is most of it is pre mixed. The mastic tile adhesive is an organically based mortar that is commonly used in the laying of ceramic tiles. This adhesive is made from the resin of the mastic tree and is available as a thin liquid, a paste, or a glue. Some common construction adhesives are a form of mastic resin. Using mastic as a tile adhesive does carry some advantages over mortar.1. Tremendous Holding StrengthMastic is used mostly with ceramic tile, but is also used with heavier materials such as stone and marble. This strength is the reason that many people will use a mastic tile adhesive in shower enclosures where there is a stone tile. If the seal remains the tile, then mastic adhesive will last for many years without any problems.2. Quick Setting Tile AdhesiveThe mastic tile adhesive is very quick setting. While this does have some drawbacks to it, it is also an advantage. Heavier tiles will set quicker so you can get more of the project competed.3. Easy to UseWhen spreading out over a backerboard to apply the tiles to, mastic tile adhesive is much easier to work with than mortar. Not being as thick, the mastic spreads out evenly and gives the tile a very good area to bond with.Read more: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/3-advantages-of-using-mastic-tile-adhesive/#b#ixzz23kIZTizw
No, plywood alone is not strong enough for ceramic tile. These floors require a very sturdy subfloor at least 1 1/4" thick before the tile. This requires either using cement board or a pored mudbed.
it rather depends on how thick a layer you put down.

How do you calculate cement mortar in 230mm thick brick
In general practice its about 12mm thick.
That is the correct spelling of the word "enamel" (a thick paint, or the outer layer of a tooth).
thick layer
No. A subfloor needs to be 1 1/4" thick. Ceramic needs an extremely stable substrate. When thinset is added to the floor the water in the mixture weakens the plywood. Any flex in a subfloor will cause a tile to crack. Traditionally tile was placed on a mudbed. It was a cement mixture laid on the plywood at least 3/4" thick. Mudbeds are not for a do it yourselfer, since if the cement isn't mixed right or the floor is prepped incorrectly you can have a mess quickly. Today, a great many pros and the majority of DIY's use a cement board. There are several brand names on the market, Wonderboard, Hardibacker, Durock, etc. You apply a layer of thinset with 1/4" x 1/4" square notch trowel. The board is put over this and screwed into place. Some can be nailed, but screws are more reliable The seams are taped and mudded with a special mesh (similar to drywall tape) and thinset. The ceramic is then applied to the top of that with another layer of thinset. Depending on the thickness of the tile and original subfloor, you should end up with something around 1 1/2" to 1 3/4". There is a new generation of "cement board" but they can be quite costly. Schuter makes a product called Ditra that looks like a waffle pattern. You lay thinset on both sides. It will shave off a little in the height but is about 3x more expensive to use then cement board.
Ozone layer is the thick layer. It protects us from UV rays of the sun.

mantle is the thick layer before you reach the core of the earth

Yes, a thick layer of ozone covers the entire earth. This layer is called ozone layer and is present in the stratosphere region of atmosphere.
It's about 2900Km thick It is 2,867km thick, which is 1,781 miles thick. The above answer is correct too though, and is probably easier to remember.
