Jupiter, being a gas giant, lacks any landmasses. It is a gaseous ball of mostly hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of hydrocarbons and other heavier elements and compounds. Most likely the center of Jupiter is a core of metallic hydrogen: hydrogen compressed so much that it has taken on similar properties of metal. This is similar to the liquid iron and nickel core as the Earth; both planets have magnetic fields, but Jupiter's is many times more powerful.
