Why infinite recursion leads to seg fault ? Why stack overflow leads to seg fault. I am looking for detailed explanation.

int f()                                                                                                                                                      
{                                                                                                                                                            
  f();                                                                                                                                                       
}                                                                                                                                                            

int main()                                                                                                                                                   
{                                                                                                                                                            
  f();
