What was the name of the first super-continent?

The first super continent scientists know about is Rodinia, which formed and broke up about 1,1 billion to 750 million years ago. Then came Pannotia, which formed and broke up around 600 million to 540 million years ago. The last was Pangaea, which formed and broke up 250 million to 200 million years ago.This is believed to have happened several times in the Earth's history.

What was earth like 3.5 billion years ago?

Earth 3.5 billion years ago, was nothing like what it is today. No plants, animals, nothing. Volcanoes erupted poisonous gases, methane and ammonia was in the atmosphere, and it would have been impossible to breathe. The Earth was also only one continent (until it was later broken up into several, which is another topic). Acidic rain, and deadly thunderstorms occurred for several millions of years. This is a shot in the dark, but it most likely (as we have no actual idea of what it *looked* like) resembled Mars. Lifeless, and unlivable. By the way, I find it odd that if the earth is 4 billion years old, and Mars is just as old, why there is no life on Mars (at least nothing like Earth's life), but there is life on the Earth. Kind of an interesting question huh?

Is antarctica the most important continent?

Yes, as a laboratory for the study of the Earth millions of years ago, and for climate studies. The continent's ice sheet contains most of the world's fresh water, compacted from snow over millions of years. By holding this water as ice, it prevents the oceans from inundating many coastal areas on the other continents.
