To me, Survival Horror is a different genre from Adventure, yet some Survival Horror games could be classified as either/or.

For example, whereas Resident Evil could not be an adventure game, Alone in the Dark could be. Another series that I would consider also adventure games would be the Clock Tower series (Based on the SNES and first PSX games I've played).

Another game labeled as Survival Horror that I would also label an adventure game would be "Haunting Ground". Although it's got a fair bit of running away from dangerous monsters, there's not much actual combat. There's also some great puzzles in it (Not your standard "Find the Key/Gem for the Lock/Slot"). Another reason I would classify it as adventure is because the main character can examine practically anything in the house. Although it's not point and click, it has more interactive objects than Syberia.
