The air that the plane flies through will determine whether it will be a smooth flight. Turbulent air can be caused by many factors. One is wind. Laminar flow is preferred, but when it gets gusty with varying intensity, you will get bumps. The other will be rising air and falling air as in up draft and downdraft. This is usually evident when in the vicinity of clouds. Other will be thermal, hot air arising from surface heating. Different surface heats at different temperature giving difference in thermal activity. Likewise contours and vegetation and surface airflow will also contribute to this.
Other known phenomenon is air pockets, or rather vacuum in the air. These pockets are invisible and usually occur in the temperate zone. These can cause plane to sink sharply if it happen to fly through one. |

Turbulance, it can be weather related (ex: wind) |

It's the air turbulence ... wind currents the plane flies thru. While an airplane causes 'vortex turbulence' ... the rapidly circulating currents following the plane, caused by its forward movement, the plane doesn't cause the bumpy ride you are asking about. Those bumps are up drafts, down drafts, and cross winds the plane flies thru while in flight! They are literally pushing the plane around! |

Turbulance can be caused by a variety of things. Wind, heat, etc. The air is kinda like the pavement, it isn't always smooth. |

Air below the airplane wings. No big deal-the pilot will tell you to put your seat belt on when it gets bad. |
