THere's water in ketchup, similar to any kind of liquid. The ketchup part, the tomoatos and everything, settle at the bottom of the bottle. The water, which is lighter or less dense, is at the top.

Punishment from the almighty Ketchup God for not placing his earthly embodiment in the sacred "neck-up" resting position. Repent! and rejoice in his lycopene rich goodness!
Really the others already gave you the answer, gravity causes the ingredients to separate when the liquid (water) rises to the top.

Gravity!!
The Pulp(Which is Heavier) is separated from the MASS,therefore leaving the Juice(Which is Lighter) floating on the top.
