ANSWER

Earthquakes are caused by the shifting and grinding of tectonic plates floating on the surface of the earth's magma. It is theorized that Jupiter may have a solid core, therefore it is possible that that core may experience quake like disturbances, but the vast majority of Jupiter is made of gas, and therefore cannot experience earthquakes as we know them.

ANSWER

It is equally likely that Jupiter has no solid core, and that it is simply a huge ball of fluid that goes from gas form at upper altitudes to liquid form as one gets deeper into the mass, and finally into an extremely dense superfluid near the center. So as the previous contributor said, no earthquakes. It would be more likely to find disturbances that might remind you of hurricanes, tornados and whirlpools.
