Theoretically, in a ring topology, unplugging one station, interrupts the ring. However, most ring networks use a mechanism that bypasses the station; the ring can continue its operation.

What is the difference between ring topology and bus topology?

Basically, in a Bus topology, any station connected to the network can speak at any time. In a ring topology, the stations must wait to be issued the "token" before they can speak. Ethernet (Bus topology) uses CSMA/CD (Carrier-Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) to determine when two or more stations speak at the same time. In Ring topologies such as Token Ring and FDDI, this isn't an issue since the passing of the "token" guarantees that no two stations will speak at the same time.

What happens to communication if a ring topology breaks?

In a ring topology, the nodes on both sides of the break will loop the path (self-healing) back towards the ring, so every node is still communicating with each other.
