ice.astronemers think it is frozen methane.
It is covered in volcanoes. Currently, it is the only known moon in our solar system to have active volcanoes.
Jupiter is covered by clouds of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. The exact makeup of the orange and brown coloration of the clouds is believed to be phosphorus, sulfur, or possibly hydrocarbons.

The moon you are referring to is Europa. Europa is covered in a layer of ice, and its surface appears cracked due to tectonic forces caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and its neighboring moons. Beneath the icy crust, scientists believe there may be a subsurface ocean that could potentially harbor life.
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, is not a volcano. It is composed mainly of water ice and rock, and its surface is covered with various geological features including impact craters, ridges, and grooves. Volcanic activity has not been detected on Ganymede.

Jupiter is a gas giant, and so is made up of a gas called Hydrogen. This is not what you see when you look at Jupiter however, as the surface of Jupiter is covered entirely with huge whirling storms. All of these have different colours so you will see Jupiter as a stripy planet covered with dots of red and other colours.
No. Jupiter is a gas giant. There is no surface on which volcanoes might form. However, Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is covered in volcanoes.
Volcanoes.

The surface of Io is covered in primarily sulphur, with areas of sulphur dioxide frost.
It is covered in volcanoes. Currently, it is the only known moon in our solar system to have active volcanoes.
Europa is the moon of Jupiter known for being covered in a thick layer of ice. This ice is believed to cover a vast, subsurface ocean that has sparked scientific interest in the search for potential extraterrestrial life.
Jupiter is covered by an ocean of hydrogen with a sludge-like consistency
Typical of moons of the outer solar system nearly all of Jupiter's moons are covered in ice. Only Io, the innermost moon is not and that it because it is powerfully volcanic.
