Tom Marchant suggested one good source of information (ABCs of z/OS...)
already.
You could also find the answers to your questions in the z/OS Principles of
Operation, Chapter 3 ("Storage"). There is a heading in that chapter
titled "Dynamic Address Translation" which explains the hardware and the
process in decent detail.
The z/OS Principles of Operation (SA22-7832-05) is available online at URL:
