About stack size

Hello, group!

I wonder how the stack size is set (or determined by compilers) and if it
can be resized during run-time.
I heard that it's dynamic.
What does it mean? Dynamic during compile-time or run-time?
The stack area can't be divided, right?
Is it always before the start point of heap?

TIA.
Sam
