The streak-stab technique is preferred over incubating the plates anaerobically because when isolating colonies allows biochemical testing to be performed. When the plate is incubated anaerobically it lacks oxygen and can not be biochemically tested.

Yes, you can streak some green algae of agar, but you have to known the nutrients you need to add to the agar. For instance Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can be grown on TAP plates, or on high salt plates.
what is the streak of sedimentary rocks
Moisture in the air condenses on the lid of the plate and drops on top the agar if the plates are place right way up. The falling water droplets will spread the bacteria and especially ruin streak plates and spead plates where you need clear distict separate colonies.
Shale normally leaves a brown streak on unglazed porcelain plates. However, shale can also leave a white streak on unglazed porcelain plates.
When using streak plates, the colonies should appear along the streak lines. This is where the bacteria have been introduced and is the first place they will grow.
If by inoculated you mean used, here is my answer if that is true; streak plates need to be dry because the powder left behind may react and change color to whatever that liquid is on the streak plate.
Streaking is used in microbiology to isolate a strain from a species of bacteria, so that this sample can be grown on a new culture.. Streak plates are used in this process to great effect.
perhaps it is easier to streak that way, i mean when the agar is set and dry. .
YES

No it does not work with all minerals. For if you did not know streak plates have a hardness of 7 (maybe a little lower or higher) on the Mohs scale. Some minerals are harder than 7 though. If they are harder they will not work with the streak test. some examples are Diamond, topaz, and corundum.
which sector of your streak plates most shows confluent growth?
Scratching a mineral across a streak plate will result in a streak which represents the true color of a mineral without impurities or inclusions that can influence a particular specimen's color. The mineral quartz can appear in a wide variety of colors, but the streak of any colored quartz specimen will still be white. The 'streak' color is one characteristic of a mineral which will aid in its identification.
