Google will lead you to Wikipedia, which in turn will give you the background needed to answer your question.

Answer 2

Activation records / stack frames are dependent on both the architecture and the platform. That said, a vaguely generic one would look like

+----------------+
| integer        |
+----------------+
| return address |
+-----------------
| link pointer   |
| (aka saved     |
| base pointer   |
+----------------+
| results        |
+----------------+

There could be other things in there as well such as saved registers but this should give you a rough idea.
