Based on my analysis of the worksheet, I can now provide a solution to the task of drawing the three types of plate boundaries on the cover.

Here's how to draw each type of boundary:

1. Convergent Boundary: Draw two tectonic plates moving toward each other. You can represent this with two rectangular blocks with arrows pointing inward (toward each other) at their edges. This represents plates colliding or one plate subducting under another.

2. Divergent Boundary: Draw two tectonic plates moving away from each other. You can represent this with two rectangular blocks with arrows pointing outward (away from each other) at their edges. This represents plates spreading apart, often forming mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys.

3. Transform Boundary: Draw two tectonic plates sliding past each other horizontally. You can represent this with two rectangular blocks with arrows pointing in opposite horizontal directions along their shared edge. This represents strike-slip faulting where plates move laterally past one another.

Note: There are errors in the text provided in the "Inside" section of the worksheet. The divergent boundary is incorrectly described as being formed when plates move together (they actually move apart), and the transform boundary is incorrectly associated with mid-ocean ridges (which are actually formed by divergent boundaries). The diagrams themselves, however, correctly illustrate the movement patterns for each type of boundary.

To complete the task, you would draw these representations in the corresponding sections on the cover of the worksheet.
