All other things being equal, the hillside with fewer plants will erode more quickly.
There are a number of reasons for this:
- The presence of vegetation acts to intercept rainfall which acts to reduce the rate rainwater reaches the soil. This in turn reduces the chances of scour occurring where soil is washed away.
- Plant roots act to bind the soil together (technically the act to inhibit the formation of shear planes and increase it's shear strength) and again reduce the potential for erosion.

How does normal rain effect the weathering of a rock?
This slowly, over time, erodes the rock. Any type of water flowing (in your case, raining) causes erosion. Heavy, intense rainstorms would erode it faster, but and type of rain fall WILL erode away rock.
